The Body: Human and Divine

Words of the Mother

A symbol and a concretisation of the divine Work

Only when it is no longer necessary for men’s progress that my body should be like theirs will it be free to become supramentalised.

*

It is a fact that the Godhead has always taken a physical body with the intention of transforming that body and making of it a fit instrument for His manifestation upon earth. But it is a fact also that, until now, He has failed to do so and for one reason or another He had always to leave that physical body with the work of transformation unfinished.

In order that the Divine may keep, till a total transformation takes place, the body through which He is manifesting upon earth, it is necessary that, for at least one individual if not more, fulfilling the required conditions of harmony, strength, sincerity, endurance, unselfishness and poise in the physical, this body in which the Divine incarnates should be not only the most important thing, but even the thing exclusively important, more important than the divine Work itself, or rather that this body should become the symbol and the concretisation of the divine Work upon earth.
